Benefits of Cloud Computing

By Jessie Mccafferty


Cloud computing keeps information and applications in a central location online, so that you can access them from anywhere. It doesn't matter whether you are on a Mac, a Windows computer, or one running bargain basement operating system that most people have never heard of. If you can run an internet browser, you can use a cloud-based application.

This solves the issue of data syncing between PCs, and the problem of not having the ability to access something that's on another computer at the time. There are some definite advantages to cloud computing, and some eventualities where it is best to use the cloud than to use programs on your personal computer system alone.

There are a few benefits that have to do with the load on your computer. First off, some applications are so bloated and complex that they take up tons of hard disk space and use so much processing power that they may slow your PC down, even it is one of the large capacity, high-memory Panasonic laptops currently available. With cloud-based applications, a programme doesn't need to be downloaded or installed to your PC.

The application will actually run on the cloud server and render in your web browser. All of the storage that may eat up drive space and the information processing that can slow your processor are done on the cloud's server, with the results in the browser where you can see them. This is going to be perfect for huge applications that require tons of power.

Memory can also be a problem when a program is huge and must have masses of available RAM to run properly. Again, in the cloud it won't draw any memory from your system to run, at least not more than the net browser takes to operate.

Another benefit is that you won't ever have to worry about updating software. With a downloaded program, you could have to download updates occasionally, or quite frequently, depending on the software. When it is a cloud-based application, it will always be up-to-date.
